At every step of the process, PacPrep’s primary goal is to provide exceptional, individualized education. This means that we leverage a relationship-based approach to create personalized learning plans that help each student thrive in their own unique way. We’ve built our program around this model quite simply because it works. Approaching each learner holistically allows us to help them excel, both academically and emotionally.

Science–but how do you make it hands on!? This is one of the most common questions we get when speaking to prospective families about PacPrep’s online, one-on-one model. It comes up most often in the context of science classes.

It’s hard enough to stay organized as an adult – someone who has grown used to organizing their day. Children, whose brains are still forming and are new to the organization game, can have an even trickier time organizing tasks like homework and projects. Luckily, as technology has advanced to a point where digital classrooms are becoming more and more prevalent, so too have tools for helping students stay organized.

As education in a post-pandemic society has begun to shift to digital and hybrid learning spaces, something else has happened to education in the United States. More families are turning to 1:1 education than before, and it’s drastically changing the way students learn.

Our team and teachers believe in accepting each learner as a child-first and student-second. This mentality gives us space to honor each unique learner’s needs. Specifically, when supporting students with learning differences, we look at our personal approach that customizes the lesson according to student strengths and personal interests. Building on that, we then incorporate academics through ensuring state and federal standards are taught within a comfortable, collaborative environment.

As we at PacPrep very well know, the benefits of 1:1 education are countless: customized learning plans, individualized attention, and access to world-class educators and mentors. But, as many families ask us, what about socialization with their peers? As we look ahead to the 2021-2022 academic year, we are excited to continue our extracurricular programming with a fun lineup of activities.
